shuttered Keith Lynnalternative secondaryfrom the
NorthVancouverschool board.The schoolsite sits where the
newoverpass will go.
When we think aboutall the things that areimportant to us, time
isprobably one of the mostimportant things.This willsave people
time.What aprecious gift to give peopleon the North Shore,Yamamoto
said.
But those hoping fora quicker commute anytime soon can ease
off
the gas.The projectstargeted completion dateis the spring of
2018.TheMinistry ofTransportationand Infrastructure isaiming to get

The NorthVancouverman who spent nearly 27years in jail after
beingwrongfully convictedfor a string of sexualoffences started his
civilsuit against the Crownin Canadas top courtThursday.
The Supreme Courtof Canada will decide ifIvan Henrys charter
rightswere violated after theCrown failed to discloserelevant
informationduring his original trial.The court will also decideif
Henry is entitled to seekdamages.
Henry, 67, wasimprisoned from 1983to 2009 after the courtsfound
him guilty of 10sexual assaults. He wasdeclared a dangerousoffender
and sentencedto an indenite numberof years behind bars.But during
his trial,the prosecution did notdisclose the discoveryof DNA
evidence, theexistence of an alternativesuspect and how
similarsexual assaults continuedafter Henrys arrest.
In 2002, police re-investigated the unsolvedsexual assaults
andobtained DNA matchesfor the alternative suspect,who then pleaded
guiltyto several of the assaults.Eight years later, theB.C. Court
of Appealoverturned Henrysconvictions and enteredacquittals on all
counts.
The David AsperCentre for ConstitutionalRights and the B.C.
CivilLiberties Association havejointly intervened in thecase.
So far, the Crown hasargued Henrys claimshould not
proceedbecause he is unableto show the implicatedprosecutors
actedmaliciously.
The provinces appealcourt agreed, but Henrywas granted leave
toappeal the decision tothe Supreme Court ofCanada, which agreed
tohear his case last May.
Henry has served moretime in jail than any otherCanadian
wrongfullyconvicted of a crime.
The case couldpotentially result inHenry being awardeda
multimillion-dollarsettlement.With les from Jane Seyd

Volkswagen has nallyunveiled its much-anticipated
seventh-generation Golf.The 2015Golf has been redesignedfrom the
ground up, andthanks to its earlier releasein Europe, has
alreadyreceivedmany accoladesincluding the 2013WorldCar of theYear
award.
TheVWGolf is theworlds second best-sellingmodel in history with
about30 million of them soldover 40 years.The originalwas made in
1974 andwas designed as a front-wheel drive,
front-enginereplacement forVWs air-
cooled, rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive Beetle.
Building on the Beetlescore philosophy, the GolfMk1 was simple,
good
looking, had an affordableprice and was ahatchback. It seemed
like agood idea at the time andthe concept still holds valueas each
new generationsticks with the same recipe.
James May, host of BBCsTop Gear, recently said,Golfs are like
potatoes.Youwouldnt want to do withoutthem, even though theyrenot
really that exciting.
That is until you considerthe sporty GTI version.
DesignThe all-new Golf is based
onVolkswagens corporateMQB Platform and shares it
with the Audi A3.Throughengineering advances,this Golf is the
safest, besthandling and roomiest of alltime.
Despite all of the sheetmetal being new, the2015 Golf is still
instantlyrecognizable.The two-boxprole remains, but the hoodis
steeper and the narrowgrille is anked by sharperheadlights.
The new architecturemakes the new Golf closeto two inches
longer, aboutthe same width, and roughlyan inch lower than the
